From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Listing the origin of the name under the Black Library account - and these two men are the only ones who fit the wording when describing them
===Black Library===
Yet another version, described in [[The Flight of the Eisenstein (Novel)|The Flight of the Eisenstein]], tells of Captain [[Nathaniel Garro]] leading only loyal Death Guard Marines. He is joined by [[Iacton Qruze]] of the Luna Wolves and the [[remembrancer]]s Mersadie Oliton and Euphrati Keeler, as well as the [[iterator]] Kyril Sindermann. The remaining Loyalist Marines are left fighting on [[Isstvan III]] because delivering the warning to the Emperor supersedes their rescue from the planet's surface. The ''Eisenstein'' is able to escape but becomes stranded in the [[Warp]]. They are however rescued by [[Rogal Dorn]] and the ''Eisenstein'' is scuttled.<sup>2</sup>
In this account, there is a brief discussion of the origins of the name of the ship. In an ancient Earth language, "Eisenstein" means "iron-stone", and was the name of two noted men from the Age of Terra - one [[wikipedia:Sergei Eisenstein|a remembrancer]], the other [[wikipedia:Ferdinand Eisenstein|a scientist]].<sup>3</sup>

* <sup>1</sup> Named as such in the source, instead of as the Sons of Horus. Varren is also described as wearing red, which would be 'incorrect' according to current information as the [[World Eaters]] at the time still wore white and blue. Both mistakes are probably due to the age of the source and/or oversight by its author.
